I need help!
Missed deadlines, being overwhelmed by studies, stress with family or in shared accommodation, or severe cases of heartbreak: at Nightline, the telephone hotline for Zurich students, small and large worries find a listening ear.
With us, you can talk and write about anything that's on your mind, confidentially and anonymously. Whether you just need to get something off your chest or your world is falling apart – we're here for you!
Of course, you can also contact us if you have a study-related or other question, or if you just want to chat.
We advise students and doctoral candidates of the UZH and ETH in study-related and personal stressful situations and/or in cases of psychological problems.
The consultations are free and confidential. Discussions can be conducted in German, English, French, and other languages. In addition to individual consultations, we also offer workshops on specific topics.
Further information and registration for a consultation can be found on the PBS website.
You will receive appointments via email.
The LGBT+ Helpline is aimed at all people who have questions about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) living environment – regardless of their own sexual orientation or gender identity.
If you are a victim of homophobic and transphobic violence, they are available online 24 hours a day. If, however, you would like a regular consultation regarding LGBT-related issues, they are available Monday to Thursday, 7 pm to 9 pm, at 0800 133 133 (free of charge from anywhere in Switzerland).
The Equality and Diversity Department is available to all UZH members for general information and advice on topics related to gender identity and sexual orientation.
Personal consultation
We support all UZH members in situations of suspected discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Process consulting
We advise and support institutes, departments and faculties that want to create an LGBTIQ-friendly study and working environment.
All members of the University of Zurich are expected to treat each other with respect. However, for everyone's protection, it is of paramount importance that regulations clearly stipulate that sexual harassment is prohibited and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
